Hmmm, did this many years ago in the infamous "Hardly Boys RaceSpit 4"! The
car, as we bought it, had one of those little 10" cheapo accessory steering
wheels welded to the column! My buddy and I didn't like the looks or the
execution. We got another inner column and went and bought a Grant wheel. I
don't recall it really ending up significantly closer to the seat than a
stock wheel would've been. The "Cal Custom" wheel that came off was so
dished, though, that the Grant wheel ended up giving us several more inches
of room!
Besides, any difference between the Grant and the stock wheel probably isn't
any more than can be adjusted for via the telescoping (Impacto-scopic! --
gotta love that name as used to describe it in early Herald advertising!))
column in the 6.
FWIW....
